Session Level: 200 Level
Session Audience: Visio Users, SharePoint Users, IT Pros
With the 2010 releases both for Visio Pro/Premium and SharePoint, the ability to quickly create and share powerful, intuitive, automatically-refreshing web mash-up dashboard visualizations of both your critical IT and business data has never been more easy to accomplish. This interactive session is intended for IT Pros. Attendees see and discuss how via using “out-of-the-box” settings and basic “no code” or “minimal code” customizations they can employ Visio and SharePoint in concert with their systems management and business data solutions to efficiently improve the results they deliver as either IT organizations or as consultants to their business units/line-of-business partners. We show and discuss different core use case scenarios such as IT dashboards, highlight customer-proven best practices like including business data, and explore new uses for IT Pros using Visio 2010 and Visio Services in SharePoint 2010.
